The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017, Classique Eau de Parfum Collector by Jean Paul Gaultier is a scent that captures the essence of French elegance and warmth. Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud has crafted an Oriental Floral composition that opens with bright Sicilian mandarin and rum, creating a vibrant contrast against the floral heart of rose and orchid. The base notes of vanilla, amber, tonka bean, and sandalwood provide a rich, powdery warmth that feels both intimate and lasting.
This fragrance blooms best close to skin, so apply it directly on pulse points. The opening notes are bright and short-lived, but the base notes develop slowly over time, making it ideal for evening wear.
